Groom Like a Parisian and Other Weekend Reading

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend. This special Saturday post brings blog and book news as well as other great weekend reads.

Groom Like a Parisian
I will be writing a small series of blog posts for the company Foreign IQ. Foreign IQ is a really innovative subscription based company that fully prepares you for any foreign destination you might journey to. (And not just France! They can prepare you to travel to a plethora of foreign countries...) I had the pleasure of test driving their site for the France program and was really impressed by the amount of information available- everything from how to order at a restaurant, to how to communicate to shop keepers, to understanding slang. I wish this company had been around before I went to Paris! The first blog post I have written for them is called Groom like a Parisian and highlights my tips for fitting in in Paris, beauty wise.

Blog and Book News
Lessons from Madame Chic has once again been featured on several websites this past week:

An author interview I did with the amazing artist Fifi Flowers on her blog Reading is Fashionable can be seen by clicking here. Fifi is also doing a giveaway for a signed copy of Lessons from Madame Chic so if you would like to win one, be sure to visit and leave a comment. And if you aren’t already acquainted with Fifi’s beautiful Parisian inspired artwork, checkout her artist blog here.

Awesome Jennifer! I think Madame Chic would be proud of the decluttering I did this past weekend...lol p.s. I found some breakfast bowls at Home Outfitters (in Canada) -- I bought them for us and for my sister and brother-in-law, we enjoy having lattes and cappuccinos in the breakfast bowls. Hubs swears the bevys taste better that way (and I kinda have to agree!)

Jennifer, Just wanted to let you know loved the Sibu and loved your book. Finished it in 2 days. Tried to drag it out longer, but just couldn't (ha). Also, saw Downton Abbey win a Golden Glob just now for best mini-series.

I look forward to your blog and catching up on what I've missed so far.
